floor-level block for register
Installing new vinyl, hopefully over some forced air registers no longer in use. Some kind of floor- level block insert is needed to provide supporting cover and I need a cunning plan.
What is the best stuff for filling/leveling embossed vinyl already in place?

Mind if I steal your "I need a cunning plan"?

It's yours. I stole it from the old BBCAmerica show "BlackAdder" where his trusted companion, Baldrick, always had a "cunning plan". As for the register holes, I'm thinking about pieces of 2x4 along the longer undersides with a piece of 1x, cut to the hole size, on top. Then some filler to level and, hopefully, that'll bear any momentary weight after the new vinyl's down.

I would say that that is a very good plan, something I would probably do as well and should bare occassional weight. The old registers were 'probably' near the walls anyway, Im presuming.
